Rachel Martin Design was hired by Sustain Charlotte, a local non-profit, to design "Charlotte 2030: A Sustainable Vision For Our Future". The brochure was the product of more than 100 sustainability experts and stakeholders from broad disciplines using a collaborative and consensus-based process, drawn from government, nonprofits, private sectors and academia. It was unveiled at a public launch event on November 1, 2010 in the center of Charlotte with Mayor Anthony Foxx, Mecklenburg County Commissioner Jennifer Roberts amongst other city officials and community leaders. The brochure was designed using a clean approach and colorful key to depict its ten aspects of urban sustainability: Air, Buildings and Homes, Economy, Energy, Food, Parks and Green Space, Waste, Social Equity, Transportation and Water. In addition to positive design reviews, the brochure has also won a PICA (Printing Industries of the Carolinas) Award of Excellence.

A tenant guide and mini mag flashlight were paired together to form a move-in gift for the tenants of 1101 New York Avenue in Washington DC when the building opened in 2007. The first tenants, The Albright Group, were pleasantly surprised to receive the welcome gift on their desks with the tenant guide book that informed them of building operations and was a useful tool for their first day in the new space.

700 Second Street is part of Station Place, an office complex that consists of three connected buildings (100 F Street, 600 Second Street and 700 Second Street NE) with 1.6 million square feet on a 5.5-acre site. Built with elegant materials and finishes, including pine green and gray granite, etched mirror stainless steel, rosetta marble, clear insulating glass and anigré wood, it was completed in 2009 and qualified for LEED Silver certification. The brochure which was designed prior to the building being finished, was created to peak interest in potential tenants to lease space and be a part of this incredible building adjacent to Washington DC's Union Station.

 

When Louis Dreyfus changed its employee’s health benefits in 2007, it wanted a new brand and brochure that was approachable, transparent and friendly. By creating the new brand along with the sophisticated icon system, each benefit was categorized with the appropriate identifier and color coded making it easy for employees to find their way around the new benefits packages.
